Boat in water bilge should be on auto mode.

Compartment Plugs out will allow it to drain easier.
Only the wet compartment plug out ?
I hate to leave all plug out and get my engine flooded

All of the time. If you keep them in, each compartment can fill up. If out all or most water ends up in bilge and either will be pumped out or drained out of the bilge

When you say auto mode means keep switch on with light on ?

Every model is slightly different. But bilge switch on some boats have 3 positions....Auto/On/Off.
  1. Auto = is on but pump only runs if water is present. (in this situation the pump is activated but not actually pumping all the time)
  2. On = pump forced on regardless of water. (don't want to leave a pump on- running - all the time)
Yours probably only has two positions - Auto/Off.
